question 1 / 5
which of the following was a significant effect of new deal legislation?
a. income tax rates fell to historic lows
b. the federal government took on new roles
c. the regulation of intrastate trade was transferred to the states
d. states became the sole enforcers of immigration law

Explanation:

The New Deal was a series of programs and policies implemented by the federal government during the Great Depression. It involved the federal government taking on new roles such as providing economic relief, creating jobs through public works projects (e.g., the Works Progress Administration - WPA), and regulating industries (e.g., through the National Recovery Administration - NRA). Income tax rates did not fall to historic lows during the New Deal; in fact, some taxes were increased to fund New Deal programs. The regulation of intrastate trade was not transferred to the states; the federal government expanded its regulatory powers. States were never the sole enforcers of immigration law; the federal government has always had a significant role in immigration policy.

Answer:

B. The federal government took on new roles
